Tim January 27, 2022 133

Alright, it's been a few years with most Android flagships not offering headphone jacks or expandable storage. Has the world ended or are you over it by now? When I think about headphone jacks, I think about LG and its now dead mobile phone business. LG put a...

Poll: Do You Miss the Headphone Jack?

Kellen April 3, 2020

Now that Samsung has removed the 3.5mm headphone jack from the Galaxy S line with the release of the Galaxy S20, we really are at the stage where your options for phones that allow for that old school wired headphone experience are extremely limited. There's...

For Headphone Jack Options the Selection is Further Shrinking at the High-End

Kellen January 3, 2020

As much as I hoped the headphone jack was on the way back following the release of the Galaxy S10 line, LG G8, and Pixel 3a, all of which had 3.5mm ports, I was a fool. The headphone jack is hanging on for dear life now that OnePlus has fully ditched it,...

Is the Headphone Jack Back?

Kellen May 30, 2019

It took "courage" from Apple to start us down the headphone jack-less path in 2016. Motorola wasn't far behind them. Google followed their leads in 2017's Pixel 2 by suggesting USB-C and digital audio were better audio. OnePlus joined the party in 2018 after...

Here’s a Fun Take: I Don’t Give a Sh*t About Disappearing Headphone Jacks

Kellen August 8, 2017 483

Include one, don't include one. I don't care. I don't care because it's just not that big of a deal. Like really, you are going to end a relationship with a company over a little 3.5mm port that they were probably putting in the wrong place to begin with (#...

Friday Poll: Headphone Jack on Top, Bottom, or Courage?

Tim May 5, 2017 155

5 years ago on May 2, we asked if headphone jacks belonged on the top or bottom of a device. As you might've noticed, things have changed a bit in 5 years, with some companies finding the courage to completely remove the jack, opting for Bluetooth and 3.5mm...
